Q: Why changing a scope won't work inside a ng-if but via function call - AngularJS Following are the code snippets in which I am toggling the hideQA value, the value is changing properly in both condition but not hiding the divs properly if I am doing -
`<button ng-click="hideQA = !hideQA">Reset</button>`

But it is working correctly if I am changing the value from a method, like -
`<button ng-click="resetForm()">Reset</button>`

Can anyone explain the reason behind this ?
Working Plnkr - http://plnkr.co/edit/rIAAcibX2Ts1VaMWKQtc?p=preview

A: This is because of the limit of inhertance between scope.
In order to have no problem with that you must use dot notation.
See the plunkr : http://plnkr.co/edit/ES9qTl7nsmGGOJnE0H8u?p=preview
See article for more explanation about dot notation
Here is what look like your code with dot notation :
<button ng-click="a.hideQA = !a.hideQA">Reset</button>
$scope.a = {hideQA:false};
$scope.a.hideQA = true;

A: ng-if has its own $scopeand when the element is removed, the $scope removes too. So you have to reference to parent scope using $parent
<button ng-click="$parent.hideQA = !hideQA">Reset</button>

Another option is to use ng-show
<div class="message" ng-show="hideQA !== false">
    This is div two !!!
    <button ng-click="hideQA = !hideQA">Reset</button>
</div>

A: Answer given above already solve this issue. Here is my working plunkr link: http://plnkr.co/edit/ZdL441bBmQToGZn4gfQt?p=preview. And I'll say something else:
When you use ng-if it will creates its own scope, from angularjs official docs :

The scope created within ngIf inherits from its parent scope using prototypal inheritance.

In a short, when refers the value from it's parent scope, only value is copied for primary type (like string, integer , boolean and etc.) but not value's reference (or pointer). Which means it is one-way reference not the two-way. So in order to use as two-way the best practice is to always use javascript object {attr: value}. And that is why . is recommended.
Here is a very good article which worth 20 mins readying about the scopes https://github.com/angular/angular.js/wiki/Understanding-Scopes
Hope this can help you :)

A broom's straw-like texture and neutral coloring makes it a great decorative element for a rustic-themed room. This pencil holder is more homey and helpful than the uninspired, angular cups you'd find at an office supply store.
Yes, even this piece of rubber can find a place in your home that's not the garage. You've probably seen hanging tire planters, but this DIY morphs their utiliarian structure into something truly unrecognizeable.
You might be ready for new furniture, but don't drag your hulking wall unit to the curb quite yet. Instead, create a faux cooking space for your kids. This one's much more special than anything you'd find at a store — and you can even treat them to a stainless steel fridge!
This tiny item has cute scrolly lines, but man-cave appeal.Dressed up in pastel hues and girlie prints, notches meant to hold fishing gear are also perfect for hanging sunglasses next to your vanity.
After years of birthdays, your cake pans won't be as pristine as this one. But that's no reason to toss them. Before you ditch bakeware that's seen better days, consider creating a vintage-style display like this one.
This blogger proves that deconstructing a thrifted piece is often the best thing you can do. One of the dresser drawers turned into extra storage that can hold pillows, books, or even kids' toys at the foot of a bed. The other half became a chic console table.
One might assume that this kitchen accessory's slats are only fit for slim blades, but a clever blogger had another idea. With the help of a drill (and some bold paint), this knife block gets a second life as a kid-friendly art station.
Unassuming apple boxes are a great blank slate for some DIY-ing.Embrace the ever-present pile in your entryway by creating candy-colored cubbies for everyone's sneakers and boots. The hanging bins are too fun not to use, and make stowing shoes nearly as easy as kicking them into a corner.
This lucky antique store find would be a beautiful focal point in a bedroom, but the owner had another cool idea.Turned on its side, the elegant piece find becomes an eye-catching space to display blankets and throws.

Construction is complete on the First Phase of improvements for the 7.5 acre South Branch Park, located across the Patapsco River from the town of Sykesville. New facilities include a playground and a picnic shelter, connected by a paved accessible walkway to two handicap parking spaces. The old water-tower, which had become a hazard, has already been taken down. The project is being done in conjunction with the Town of Sykesville, which has been renting and maintaining the property for the past several years under an agreement with the County. Construction has begun on the new skate park area.
In the spring, a charrette was held in the Town Hall to gather ideas from the public for the use of the historic warehouse known as the "Apple Butter Factory." Future plans will include renovations to enable the re-use of the building, as well as provide additional parking. An existing concrete slab that is currently used for skateboarding, will also undergo future improvements as a skate-park. New amenities, such as benches and historic interpretive signage for the historic structures on the site, will also be added.
The park serves as a gateway to both Howard and Carroll Counties, and has been enjoyed for limited passive recreation since its acquisition by the County in 1994, and the addition of a small parking area, fencing and landscaping. The site is the location of several historic structures, including the Sykes House, and a Weigh Station for farm produce that was canned at the Apple Butter Factory.
That section of the park will be closed to visitors for the duration of the construction, which will last several weeks.

Critical Analysis Of "To Kill A Mockingbird"
Task 2: Critical Analysis
Ngien Sing Jier
For this semester, we are analysing a novel entitled 'To Kill a Mockingbird' written by Harper Lee. I find this novel very meaningful and interesting to read as well. After reading and analysing the novel a few times along with the teachings of my lecturer, I can differentiate the story told from different perspectives, parts when Scout was young and parts when she was an adult. It is about the life and happenings in Maycomb County. The story is told in the first person point of view whereby Scout as the narrator, is a character in the story who tells us everything she has experienced. She can reveal only personal thoughts and feelings and what she ...view middle of the document...
Jem mentioned, "The thing about it is, our kind of folks don't like the Cunninghams, the Cunninghams don't like the Ewells, and the Ewells hate and despise the coloured folks." showing to us that there are several discrimination in Maycomb County even among the White themselves. Prominently, Arthur Radley who was known as Boo, was a local legend. He was discriminated because of bad reputation after he caused a public disturbance because he has mixed with the wrong group of friends. People, especially young children have wrong opinions on Boo and this is proven when Jem gave a description of Boo, "Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained – if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time." Boo was being described as such because he was never seen after the public disturbance. Jem later understood why Boo stayed shut up in the house by saying, "…I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time…it's because he wants to stay inside." Scout wants to invite Walter Cunningham home to dinner and play with him despite him being poor and dirty. Aunt Alexandra has forbidden her to do so by criticising Walter. The quotes are "…But they're not our kind of folks.", "The thing is, you can scrub Walter Cunningham till he shines, you can put him in shoes and a new suit, but he'll never be like Jem. Besides, there's a drinking streak in that family a mile wide…", and "Because – he – is – trash, that's why you can't play with him. I'll not have you around him, picking up his habits and learning Lord-knows-what..."
Judge Taylor has appointed Atticus to be the lawyer for Tom Robinson during the trial and he was willing to do so. Atticus explained to Scout and Jem the true facts of life regarding the discrimination present in the society in order to prepare them to face it. "…There's something in our world that makes men lose their heads – they couldn't be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life." shows that discrimination against people results in people being treated unfairly even though they did nothing wrong. The main event which is triggering in this novel is Tom Robinson's trial as he was charged for raping Mayella Ewell. The theme of racial discrimination is also shown abundantly after the trial started. In the courtroom, there were two distinct seating areas to separate the Blacks and Whites and the quote proving this is "The Coloured balcony ran along three walls of the courtroom like a second-story veranda, and from it we could see everything." The discrimination against Tom Robinson was proven strongly by the quote...

Which is best – HS2 or rail upgrades?
There has been debate over the last couple of weeks between the TaxPayers' Alliance and Greengauge 21 on the merits of HS2 compared with upgrading the existing rail network.
What the exchange of views has illuminated is that there is no getting away from the basic finding that there is a good business case for HS2. Its benefit:cost ratio (BCR) is well over the threshold 2:1 benchmark that DfT sets itself.
It is also true that DfT's work reveals that there might be a package of measures (Rail Package 2a) that achieves a similar score; whether the BCR value for HS2 or RP2a is higher depends on the assumption made of whether RP2a has rolling stock leased or treated as a capital expense. In practice, the rolling stock for an RP2a-style upgrade, which would be implemented through the franchising system, would be leased, and not purchased outright.
On the other hand, HS2 is a capital project where it would be normal in appraisal to treat rolling stock as a capital item, along with other front end costs. After all, looking at the obvious precedent, we find that Eurostar owns its existing fleet (and will own its new trains too, rather than lease them).
On that basis, RP2a, which is by far the best performing of the rail alternatives to HS2 (see below) has a lower BCR than HS2.
Rail Package 2a is an upgrade of existing lines. The experience of the earlier version of this approach (the West Coast Route Modernisation project) is relevant. Its costs were estimated at £2.1bn. The outturn cost was £9bn and it entailed a decade of on-line works, which was hugely disruptive to rail users. There is much greater risk and uncertainty around early line of route cost estimates than those made for new-build. Upgrades typically take longer than originally programmed too. Custodians of scarce public funds must take such factors into account.
They must also take into account as best they can what will have been achieved upon completion. In the case of RP2a, a situation will have been created in which any further similar developments designed essentially to create additional capacity will have poor benefit cost performance. Rail Packages 3, 4 and 5 which extend the concept of line of route upgrades have BCRs of 1.11, 1.01 and O.85 respectively. So what happens then? Belatedly, the Government of the day would discover it should have built HS2 all along, because that would be the only course left open that represents value for money. Adopting Rail Package 2a would be short-sighted and store up problems for the future.
It is also instructive to look again at what government is trying to achieve with HS2. The objectives were clearly set out in the March 2010 'Green Paper': Cm 7827 High Speed Rail. In summary the objectives were seen as improving capacity, connectivity and sustainability, and supporting growth in the regions. The latter were seen as comprising:
Increasing urban economic productivity
Supporting growth in Britain's core cities (where the evidence presented showed very clearly how prosperity (measured as £GVA/head) declines with rail journey time to London
Supporting housing growth (the Milton Keynes/South Midlands growth area was highlighted)
Supporting London's long term competitiveness.
Some of these objectives are met by increasing capacity; some rely on much quicker journey times. RP2a delivers a small improvement in journey times and fails to deliver on a good proportion of the broader policy objectives. While put up as an alternative, in truth it is a very partial one.
The overall aim is to develop a truly national high-speed network in which HS2 is a very important first stage, a network that can, amongst other things, provide an alternative to short-haul flights. Large-scale tinkering with today's railway in the RP2a mould will never allow rail to win over travellers from air in the large London – central Scotland market, for example.
The Coalition Government has made clear that it wants to see a re-balancing of the national economy, both across sectors and regions, and that it sees high-speed rail as a significant contribution to this over-arching policy objective. We have had a decade of incremental investment, delivering the most valuable of the investments in the West Coast corridor of the RP2a type. The ambitions set for our national economy require a step change in connectivity so that businesses choose to locate development out of the overcrowded wider south east.
Let's summarise.
HS2 has a good business case – and actually this is not disputed – except that the TPA research note argued the growth forecasts are too high. We disagree, because they are based on growth rates lower than the trends of the last 10 – 15 years, (and this is the case across longer distance rail flows, not just the West Coast, which as has fairly been pointed out, has seen an upgrade in this period) and because the published business case assumes that all growth comes to a halt in 2033 (which can only be described as one of the least likely outcomes!).
One – but only one – of the alternative ways of increasing rail capacity examined by DfT also has a good business case, but:
1. It creates a position in which, upon completion, the only worthwhile way forward is to build HS2
2. It has greater risk and uncertainty
3. It fails to deliver against several of the objectives set for HS2 by both the last and the current Government.

I started this project a little over 7 years ago with the very simple idea that I would do my part to tell the narrative of blackness in American cooking. This story is one that evolves as our nation matures and its the a story that is in need of stewardship. I heard the call to this work from women like the late Grande Dame Chef Edna Lewis, Dr. Vertamae Grosvenor, Dr. Jessica B. Harris, and Dr. Psyche Williams-Forson, whose work highlights the importance of food as a conduit to understanding culture and the power of shaping our own narratives, and it is in the spirit of all of these women and so many others that I joyfully announce the first Soul Summit.
Maybe the most gracious and lovely people I've ever met, Toni Tipton Martin, an icon in our industry and one of the most fearsome keepers of our culinary past, has curated this summit to be held this Juneteenth weekend at Huston-Tillotson University in Austin,TX. The weekend will not only commemorate Juneteenth and the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, but will be the first event of its kind that bring together our country's best and brightest scholars, researchers, chefs, historians, activists, and writers expressly to focus on our foodways!!
Over the years there have been so many amazing conversations, gathering, and books written around the topic of black food and culture and I've been part of many of them, but this event is going to be a game changer. From strictly culinary to food justice and policy I have watched so many brilliant food folk dedicate their lives and careers to our foodways and I couldn't be prouder. What this weekend will do is set the tone for the future of scholarship around our foodways and serve notice that our community is equipped and ready to take charge of the narrative around our foodways. Toni has sent out the proverbial bat signal to all the food folks around doing their separate brilliant food work to come to TX and be art of strengthening this collective.
I know food folks are always busy grinding, I am too, and taking a weekend away from your life and work may be a big ask, but I know for sure that this weekend is one you do not want to miss. The power that will be in this place, the spirit of our ancestors that has divined this weekend, and the energy of so any of our peers who have signed on to cook and talk and share is staggering. This symposium is so necessary, so please support this work by coming out and joining the conversation, if you can't come maybe buy a ticket for some young person you think might benefit from a weekend surrounded by amazing food folk of color, or simply spread the word!! Every little bit helps. I so hope to see you there!!

L'allemand standard () est la variété standard de la langue allemande utilisée dans des contextes formels pour la communication entre populations utilisant différents dialectes germaniques.

L'orthographe est codifiée officiellement par une organisation internationale, le Conseil pour l'orthographe allemande (Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung). La prononciation est codifiée officieusement dans des manuels. L'allemand standard sert de langue véhiculaire suprarégionale. Il est enseigné à l'école.

Terminologie : Standarddeutsch versus Hochdeutsch

Le terme linguistique Standarddeutsch est rarement utilisé par les germanophones ; ils désignent la variété standard de leur langue plutôt comme Hochdeutsch ou Schriftdeutsch (allemand écrit). Cet usage du mot Hochdeutsch dérive du fait que l'allemand standard est issu des variétés méridionales, appelées en linguistique le haut allemand. Celui-ci regroupe l'allemand supérieur du sud (Oberdeutsch) et le moyen allemand du centre du pays (Mitteldeutsch ou Zentraldeutsch) et s'oppose au bas allemand du nord, « haut » et « bas » se référant à l'élévation du terrain, comme dans le nom « Pays-Bas », non à la qualité.

L'allemand standard a maintenant largement délogé les dialectes du nord de l'Allemagne, et on y parle une langue assez proche du standard. Dans le sud, la langue standard coexiste avec des dialectes qui en divergent considérablement. Ce déplacement géographique du Hochdeutsch s'explique précisément par le fait qu'il a été appris comme une langue étrangère au nord ; pour cela, la prononciation y suit fidèlement l'orthographe tandis qu'au sud l'orthographe n'a jamais décrit les différentes prononciations régionales que de manière approximative.

Histoire et codifications
L'histoire de l'allemand standard est beaucoup plus complexe que celle du français standard, qui est issu de la langue parlée à la cour de France et a ensuite peu à peu étendu son territoire à la France entière.

Entre les pays germanophones, une institution existe pour standardiser l'orthographe : le Conseil pour l'orthographe allemande (Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung).

Pour ce qui concerne la prononciation et le vocabulaire, il n'y a jamais eu d'institution comparable à l'Académie française pour l'allemand. La normalisation de la langue standard est largement due à des écrivains, des éditeurs, des grammairiens, des décisions gouvernementales et plus récemment la télévision :
 la traduction de la Bible par Luther au  (Lutherdeutsch), basée sur l'allemand des chancelleries saxonnes (Kanzleisprache), donnant au moyen allemand un avantage qui s'avéra décisif dans la suite,
 les sociétés savantes (académies) du ,
 Johann Christoph Gottsched, grammairien du ,
 la scolarité obligatoire à partir du , le début d'une bureaucratie, la décision de l'impératrice Marie-Thérèse d'abandonner le standard de l'époque, le haut allemand en faveur du moyen allemand,
 l'unification de l'orthographe par Konrad Duden et les règles du ministère de l'Éducation prussien vers 1880,
 le manuel de prononciation de Theodor Siebs en 1898,
 la réforme de l'orthographe de 1900,
 la stagnation imposée par la division de l'Allemagne entre 1945 et 1990 et le monopole du dictionnaire Duden,
 la réforme de l'orthographe allemande de 1996, retouchée en 2006.

Pluricentrisme
L'allemand standard est une langue pluricentrique, avec trois variantes principales :

 l'allemand standard allemand (Bundesdeutsch, Bundeshochdeutsch, bundesdeutsches Hochdeutsch, Deutschlanddeutsch, Deutschländisch), variante dominante de par le nombre d'utilisateurs et langue officielle en Allemagne ;
 l'allemand standard autrichien (Österreichisches Deutsch), langue officielle en Autriche ;
 l'allemand standard suisse (Schweizer Hochdeutsch), une des langues officielles en Suisse (à ne pas confondre avec le dialecte suisse allemand).

En outre, d'autres variantes secondaires existent, plus ou moins rattachées à l'une des trois ci-dessus, telles que celle de Belgique (Belgisches Deutsch), du Liechtenstein (Liechtensteinisches Deutsch), du Luxembourg (Luxemburger Deutsch) et du Sud-Tyrol (Südtiroler Deutsch), ainsi que d'autres encore rattachées à des communautés de langue allemande de par le monde.

Diglossie en Suisse et au Luxembourg
En Suisse et au Luxembourg, même dans les occasions les plus formelles, on parle en dialecte. Le dialecte luxembourgeois, une variété de moyen allemand, a été élevé en 1984 au rang de langue nationale. Dans ces deux pays, l'allemand standard n'est plus standard sauf comme langue écrite.

L'allemand standard est obligatoire dans l'enseignement et tous les médias communiquent en allemand standard. Tout ce qui est officiel est allemand. C'est la langue de communication. Les Suisses allemands utilisent l'allemand standard continuellement dans la vie de tous les jours (dans leur vie privée, ils utilisent le dialecte). L'allemand est nécessaire à Zurich. Connaître le dialecte est un avantage, mais il n'est pas nécessaire de le parler.

Lotus (Nelumbo Nucipera Gaertn) is the National Flower of India. It is a sacred flower and occupies a unique position in the art and mythology of ancient India and has been an auspicious symbol of Indian culture since time immemorial.
India is rich in flora. Currently available data place India in the tenth position in the world and fourth in Asia in plant diversity. From about 70 per cent geographical area surveyed so far, 47,000 species of plants have been described by the Botanical Survey of India (BSI).


Using Node-RED Dashboard you can quickly build useful and attractive user interfaces for IoT applications. Unfortunately, all diagrams are empty again when Node-RED or Node.js are restarted. I'll show you how to save and restore the chart data so that you will not be facing empty charts.
In this tutorial, I use Node-RED on Bluemix, the data will be stored in a DashDB instance. You can also transfer my example to a local running Node-RED with a local database or even data storage in a file. The pattern is basically the same as what I will show you.
Now after deploying this small flow, press once the inject button and a new row is inserted into your table. Later on we will update this row to hold the chart data. If you want to store data for other charts simply modify the SQL insert statement and add further rows for your other charts.
The node ui_chart already comes with the necessary capabilities so that we can easily store and reload chart data. In my example flow, wind data (average speed and gust) come from a weather station. In a function node I convert the values in I msg.topic from meter/s in km/h and set msg.topic to wind or gust, so that the two lines in the diagram will be correctly labeled. In order to not have too many data points in the chart, I use the delay node to limit to only one value every 5 minutes. The diagram shows the last 24 hours.
This SQL satement I then execute in the DashDB node.
If you wired everything as in my example, you can now safely restart Node-RED or Node.js without having to sit in front of an empty diagram afterwards.
topic: "SELECT CHARDATA FROM `CHARTDATA` WHERE CHART="DEVTEMP""
A pipe to a dedicated graph doesnt work. Graph is not populated. Tried several JSON/paylaod extract with no luck. Any hint on what I have missed ? Thanks.
In the example above this is done in the node "parse chartdata".
Thanks for letting me know. I guess you are using a different database node than I do and this perhaps returns the results of the query slightly different (as an array)?

'Bib-gate' continues as caddies appeal dismissal of lawsuit against PGA Tour
Ryan Herrington
OAKMONT, Pa. -- Four months after a U.S. district judge dismissed its lawsuit against the PGA Tour, 168 caddies have filed an appeal in an attempt to, among other things, be compensated for wearing bibs adorned with logos from tour sponsors.
Attorneys representing caddie Mike Hicks and his peers filed a motion in the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday stating that the February 2016 ruling dismissing the case was made in error and should be overturned. The 66-page brief outlines various reasons the suit should be allowed to proceed, including a claim that the trial court did not proper conduct its fact-finding before reaching its decision.
The original suit, filed in January 2015, claimed that the tour receives more than $50 million each year in revenue from bib sponsorship. The caddies, however, do not receive any of that money for wearing the bids as they are not paid by the tour but rather by the players who employ them.
In the dismissal, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria noted that the caddies voluntarily agreed to wear the bibs by accepting a contractual uniform requirement. Additionally, caddies could negotiate their own sponsorship agreements.
Attorneys for the caddies, however, state that the caddies had no choice but accept the uniform requirement or be told they could not work at tour events. They also argue that wearing the bib inhibits the opportunities for caddies to secure their own sponsor deals.
"Sure, caddies are told they can have their own sponsors," said Richard D. Meadow, an attorney at The Lanier Law Firm, which represents the caddies, "but what good does that do if they're forced to cover their shirts with other sponsors who are paying them nothing and instead putting tens of millions of dollars in the tour's pocket?"
Officials at the PGA Tour had no comment regarding the appeal.
Hicks is not on the bag of any player competing this week at the U.S. Open.

Khloé Kardashian was WARNED about Tristan Thompson.
And, no, we're not talking about the KarJenners' koncerns about KoKo shacking up with another NBA baller. Rather, we're referring to the daunting message the KUWTK starlet got from the beyond.
Hmmm, sounds like Mr. Henry was on to something!! Amid all of the cheating allegations against Tristan, French Montana started following Khloé on Instagram.
Oh snap!! We'd confidently categorize French Montana as having an unusual "M" name!!
Distance clearly became an issue for Tristan and Khloé, as the Cleveland Cavaliers player was allegedly caught with side chicks all over the country. Tsk, tsk!
For more from Tyler's sit down with Khloé be sure to ch-ch-check out the recap video for yourself (below)!

The Story Behind the Book: Where Have All the Bees Gone?
This book began way back in 2010, when my children and I started volunteering to help maintain the Snetsinger Butterfly Garden, a public garden for pollinators in my hometown.
As we sweated under the hot sun—pulling weeds, dead-heading spent flowers—I was drawn to the colorful butterflies flitting by. But the expert gardeners who ran the place talked mostly of bees: the many kinds, their importance as pollinators, and hints that bees were in decline.
Bees came to my attention again a few years later, in the fall of 2016. I was researching The Monarchs Are Missing: A Butterfly Mystery, a book that grew out of my work at the pollinator garden. As I carried out interviews for the book, many of the experts I spoke with wanted to talk bees, not butterflies. Again and again, they pointed out that bees were in trouble, too. And they didn't mean managed honey bees, which were getting plenty of press at that time. They meant wild bees, native bees. I decided to investigate.
This book tells the story of what I learned. It dives into the world of wild bees, the ones that are pollinating the bulk of our food. It traces the history of bees, all the way back to the dinosaurs, and explains why bees are so important to us and the world we live in.
The book explores what scientists know about bee declines: what's behind the declines and what questions remain unanswered. The list of culprits include parasites, pesticides, climate change, and habitat loss.
The book ends on a hopeful note, explaining in detail what everyone can do to help bees.
In a starred review, Booklist calls it "well-balanced and objective… An important resource for all libraries."
Where Have All the Bees Gone? is a Junior Library Selection. It releases February 4th from Twenty-First Century Books.

By: TRIUMF
Smiles all round in the Control Room, December 15th, 1974: the Director, Reg Richardson, and Associate Director, Erich Vogt lead an impromptu celebration for TRIUMF's first 500 MeV proton beam.
Canada's first proton beam
On the afternoon of December 15th, 1974, researchers at TRIUMF in Vancouver, B.C. extracted Canada's first accelerated proton beam. This momentous achievement marked the start of a new era in nuclear and particle physics research in Canada and around the globe.
A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator in which charged particles in a vertical magnetic field accelerate outward in a spiral pattern, driven by a high-frequency electric field. The cyclotron at TRIUMF is the largest of its kind in the world, measuring almost 18 meters across. It produces intense beams of protons of up to 520 Million electron-Volts (MeV), corresponding to 75% the speed of light. Since 1974, TRIUMF has used the cyclotron's primary proton beam (and secondary beams of pions, muons, neutrons, and rare isotopes) to conduct pioneering studies and establish Canada as a world leader in nuclear physics, particle physics, molecular and materials science, and nuclear medicine.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world's largest professional association for the advancement of technology, recognized the first high-energy proton beam extraction as a historic engineering milestone in 2010. "The cyclotron's longevity underscores the quality of the initial design and engineering of the TRIUMF 500 MeV cyclotron," said Dr. David G. Michelson, IEEE Chair and member of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia. "Thirty-five years after the first full energy proton beam was extracted, the cyclotron is still the main engine of TRIUMF's world-leading research program."
With ongoing support from the Government of Canada, the 520 MeV cyclotron will continue to support cutting-edge research initiatives and technology development, including the production of medical isotopes for disease imaging, treatment, and research; proton-beam therapy for ocular melanoma; irradiation testing of aerospace components; characterising quantum materials; and many more new and exciting projects.

With the most advanced technologies applied on a self-loading stretcher, Spencer Cross Chair is the first device adopting innovative solutions for the transport of patients in rescue operations on the road and in ambulance. This device could be transformed from stretcher to chair in just 2 seconds. When the demand for new cutting-edge devices that can meet the daily needs of rescue meet the talent of Spencer, we can expect a real prodigy of industrial design.
Cross Chair is the ideal device to assist rescue professionals, who in their daily activities wish to experience a really new solution to improve emergency road rescue and patient transport in the emergency vehicle. Cross Chair can be used as a stretcher or as a transport chair as it adapts to a wide range of operational scenarios.
Two essential devices rolled into one big project. The rescue teams will be able to choose between the two configurations, according to the type of required operational procedure, so that to have a manageable stretcher for the patients or – in alternative – a practical transport chair and without the inconvenience of having to overburden the sanitary compartment of the emergency vehicle.
For added versatility and safety, a purpose made trolley is available. The Cross stretcher is supplied with two model STX 702 restraint straps and mattress. Spencer featured a lot of interesting videos about the new Cross Chair and the numerous new devices presented in 2015. We could show you a short demo made during MEDICA Exhibition with this device.


Left DVD at work, so trying to download the full deal. I think trying to do this crap on weekends is a waste because tech support is ?
I think the download manager/ website is messed up, downloads a little then starts over agian. I quit. Wait till Monday I guess.
I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. I've never had a problem downloading and installing updates. Is it just barely possible that the problem is on your end? Do you have your anti-virus software turned off? I know that having that on can cause problems.
Thanks Glenn, I turned that stuff off with no luck. I'm pretty sure it's a SP2 thing because I had similar issues with my work PC. Anyway, I'm taking home the install DVD tonight after work and give that a shot. The full download of the DVD failed as well. At least with the DVD I will know if it will work or if I have to start with a complete clean install of OS and software. Thing that pisses me off is that I installed a separate drive and have just SW installed on it for this reason alone. If they truly made a quality product that would really uninstall before you ungrade to the latest version this would not be neccessary. After 7 yrs of work with it, this seems to be an ongoing issue with this company. Shame on them for not making the process alot simpler. Well, I'm tired of ranting about this. We'll see if the DVD in in any better shape than the download method.
have you tried to download the files and not use the install from the web?
there are manual file downloads you can use just have to pick the ones you need.
pic from the download page: at bottom if install manager assited ...FAIL!
Click here for instructions if your browser security settings are blocking this download.
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the SolidWorks Installation Manager for Individual Installations, Administrative Images, or Installation Manager Assisted Manual Downloads.
If you experience problems due to Internet proxy, other connection issues or policies, it is strongly recommendedthat you use Installation Manager Assisted Manual Downloads to ensure that all prerequisites are installed and all errors are logged for technical support.
For more information on Installation Manager Assisted Manual Downloads, click here.
Yeah I tried this as well, it would get to 32% then jump back down to 0%. That's where the bulk of my frustation came from. I was like "I can't even download the stuff manually!" At this point I figured that their servers were all screwed up or something and threw my hands up and said forget I'll get the DVD on Monday. Question is will it work tonight when I try to do it all over again? Are you listening SW?
I'm on there right now and all is downloading fine, must be on your end ISP may have timed out as it does take awhile to download.
could be firewall problems on your PC's.
I have been downloading from SW since 97 and in all that time have had maybe a handful of issues...hell SW1999 had 14 sp's that release and I think I was on a modem.
Good to hear that your connecting without issues. I looked at the firewall and any other programs that may have interfered but didn't come across anything. I even reset my power setting to make sure my PC stayed active with no powerdown on it. Tell you sometimes it makes you wonder. Anyway, thanks for the input.
Chances are likely that if you are having download interruptions, it is somewhere between your computer and SolidWorks servers, not the SolidWorks servers themselves.
DSL modems are notorious for these types of problems.
Thanks for the input Charles. I'm running via a 30 Meg connection via the cable company so I'm pretty sure I'm good there. SP2 went off without a hitch so I guess tonight I'll try with the DVD. I know it will launch the updater, but just in case I'm missing something it will have the DVD to look at as well. Thanks again - let you know how it goes.
Got yelled at so this is my last post on this.

Top Times Travel
From Taipei to Sun Moon Lake
We departed Taipei, headed southwest, for a visit to Sanyi. Initially, the Sanyi region was developed due to its abundant timber, but a woodcarving industry eventually emerged. Many families in the region embraced the tradition and numerous woodcarving shops line the main street.
Puli, our next stop, is noted for its history of making paper. Although modern commercial methods have dramatically impacted traditional paper manufacturers, they are still patronized by artists and calligraphers who need paper of the highest quality. We also toured an interesting outdoor exhibit which features a "paper church." The structure was designed by the noted Japanese architect, Shigeau Ban, after the 1995 earthquake devastated much of Kobe, Japan. The light, easily obtainable material made it possible to quickly erect a new place of worship, to replace a Catholic church which was destroyed by the earthquake. In 1999, when Taomi, Taiwan, suffered a crippling earthquake, the paper church was donated to Taomi as a symbol of the friendship between Japan and Taiwan.
Sun Moon lake itself is stunning--one part round like the sun, and another crescent-shaped like the moon--and ringed by emerald mountains. The area is home to one of Taiwan's fourteen recognized aboriginal tribes, the Thao. Legend has it that they originally settled on a small island, Lalu, then migrated to the mainland when rising waters rendered the island uninhabitable. I found the artwork of the indigenous tribes remarkable similar to that of American Indian tribes of the northwest.
Staircase of a Thousand Lights, once the only was to reach the Temple on the shores of the Lake
Today, a luxury hotel has adopted the Lalu name and is a spectacular property. With the hotel as a base, we toured the Temple of the Walking Monk, Xuanzhuang, who sojourned through western Asia in search of sacred texts.
Also interesting, and worth a long, uphill slog, was the octagonal and multi-colored Tse En Pagoda, built by Chiang Kai-shek in honor of his mother. Once a heavy fog lifted, views of the Lake from the Temple and the Pagoda were fantastic, as were those from my balcony.
We strolled through Tehua Village and I sampled millet wine, as well as a concoction made from tree bark and an indefinable liquid. Finally, I managed a wine/sorghum brew called alcohol 58. Not the best, but it killed the taste of everything else.

Star Trek: Voyager – Muse (Review)
Posted on June 14, 2018 by Darren
In its own way, Muse marks the end of an era for Star Trek: Voyager, as Joe Menosky's last solo script for the series.
To be fair, this is not Menosky's last script credit on the series. Menosky would collaborate with Brannon Braga on the season-bridging two-parter Unimatrix Zero, Part I and Unimatrix Zero, Part II. In fact, those episodes have themes that play directly into Menosky's interests; the two-parter is a story about dreams and narratives, about worlds that exist beyond the literal and the concrete. More than that, Menosky would work on the writing staff of Star Trek: Discovery, contributing the script to Lethe, one of the season's stand-out episodes that was also about narratives – albeit internalised ones.
Dropping the mask.
However, Muse still feels like it marks the end of an era. Menosky had been a fixture of the Berman era of Star Trek dating back to the fourth season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, making his debut with Legacy and arguably making his biggest impression with Darmok early the following season. Menosky's involvement with the franchise ebbed and flowed in the intervening years, but his influence was often felt. Indeed, Menosky even contributed a handful of scripts and stories to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, including the teleplay for the underrated Dramatis Personae.
With Menosky's departure from Voyager at the end of the sixth season, Brannon Braga would become the longest-serving writer working on the Star Trek franchise. His tenure on the television franchise would surpass that of Ronald D. Moore, and of any writer who hadn't spanned the gap from the end of the original Star Trek to the early seasons of The Next Generation, with the arguable exception of producer Rick Berman. As such, Muse feels very much like the end of an era. It marks the departure of one of the guiding light of the Star Trek franchise, albeit one often overlooked or ignored.
Storyteller.
Muse is an episode that speaks to Menosky's key interests within the Star Trek franchise, the idea of Star Trek as something akin to a modern mythology. More than any other writer on Star Trek, Menosky is invested in stories that are fundamentally about stories. His influence on Voyager is more subtle than that of Michael Piller, Jeri Taylor or Brannon Braga, but can felt in the recurring idea that Voyager itself is a Delta Quadrant myth. More than any of the other Star Trek series, Voyager feels like it is a story about a collection of archetypes rather than characters.
Menosky first articulated this idea in the closing scene of his otherwise forgettable script for False Profits, but reinforced it in episodes like Distant Origin, Living Witness and Blink of an Eye. It could reasonably be argued that this idea became part of the show's identity, to the point that it can even be traced through episodes not explicitly credited to Menosky, like Live Fast and Prosper. It seems appropriate that this idea should serve as the central theme of Muse, an episode that might be read as a thesis statement on Menosky's approach to the franchise.

Star Trek: Voyager – The Voyager Conspiracy (Review)
Posted on April 9, 2018 by Darren
The Voyager Conspiracy builds off the nostalgia of One Small Step, paving the way for the nostalgia of Pathfinder.
One of the more interesting aspects of the final two seasons of Star Trek: Voyager is the way in which the show embraces a weird nostalgia, both for the utopian future of the larger Star Trek franchise and also for its own earlier seasons. To be fair, the seeds for this nostalgia were arguably sown during the fifth season, with an increased emphasis on the events of Caretaker in episodes like Night, Relativity and Equinox, Part I, as well as elements like Janeway's exploration of her family history in 11:59, the fake Earth in In the Flesh, and the return to the Maquis in Extreme Risk.
"What's all this buzz about?"
Nevertheless, the sixth and seventh seasons of Voyager embrace the nostalgia that has been woven into the series from the outset, the journey toward the "familiar" and the "recognisable." After all, Voyager has always been a show about the desire to return, but it is particularly interesting to see that urge to go backwards including metaphorical journeys into the history of both the Star Trek franchise and Voyager itself. The final seasons of Voyager apply the idea of returning home reflexively, it often feeling like a desire to slip backwards in time as much as space.
It is interesting to wonder what drives this nostalgia for the early years of Voyager in these final two seasons. Perhaps this wistful yearning is driven by the fact that the show is approaching its end, and is reflecting upon its own nostalgia. Perhaps the series is anxious at being the only Star Trek show on the air for the first time in its run, hoping to return to the safety and security of those early years. Perhaps it ties into a broader cultural anxiety about the millennium, a reflection of the same "end of history" anxiety that informed stories like Future's End, Part I, Future's End, Part II and Living Witness.
Getting into her head.
Whatever the reason, The Voyager Conspiracy feels like an exploration of the Voyager's continuity. The plot of the episode finds Seven of Nine effectively binge-watching the first few seasons of the show and trying to structure them into something resembling a cohesive story arc. In doing so, The Voyager Conspiracy includes an uncharacteristic selections of nods and references to earlier episodes; Caretaker, Cold Fire, Manoeuvres, The Gift, Message in a Bottle, The Killing Game, Part I, The Killing Game, Part II, Dark Frontier, Part I, Dark Frontier, Part II.
As such, it is an oddity in the larger context of Voyager, a television series largely defined by the absence of episode-to-episode continuity. Indeed, it is quite telling that The Voyager Conspiracy treats such continuity as inherently dangerous and destabilising influence on Voyager.

Star Trek: Voyager – Latent Image (Review)
Posted on July 31, 2017 by Darren
Latent Image is a powerful allegorical piece of Star Trek, a prime example of how Star Trek: Voyager could occasionally spin gold from its shift towards a more "archetypal Star Trek" template. It is a story that could easily have been told with Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation, for example.
At the same time, Latent Image is a story that touches on many of the core themes of Voyager, many of the show's key recurring fixations and fascinations. It is an episode about the link between memory and identity, about the importance of preserving history rather than burying it; it touches upon both the metaphorical manipulation of history in stories like Remember, Distant Origin and Living Witness and the literal manipulation of the past in stories like Future's End, Part I, Future's End, Part II, Year of Hell, Part I and Year of Hell, Part II.
Picture imperfect.
However, it filters that experience through Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky's recurring fascination with themes of identity and self-definition. The writers have often used the artificial characters on Voyager to explore the malleability of self, how easily the sense of self might be eroded or decayed; the EMH grappled with this challenge in Projections and Darkling, while Seven wrestled with it in Infinite Regress. The artificial characters on Voyager frequently seemed on a verge of a nervous breakdown.
Latent Image is notable for wedding these two concepts together, for integrating these two concepts and exploring the manipulation of an individual's history as the root of an identity crisis. What happens to the EMH in Latent Image is at once an extension of the dysfunction suggested in Projections and Darkling as well as a more intimate exploration of the cultural identity crises in episodes like Remember, Distant Origin and Living Witness. Latent Image suggests that memory is the thread that ties identity together. Without that continuity of self, everything unravels.
A bone to pick with him.
As such, Latent Image exists in an interesting space. It is a story that works very well as a high-concept character study, focusing on the nature of the EMH has a computer programme. Although episodes like Pen Pals suggest that Starfleet has the power to remove memories from biological life forms, the plot of Latent Image could not work as well with a character like Kim or Paris. At the same time, it is a broader allegory about how important memories and experiences are in terms of defining who a person is, and how dealing with these memories defines a cultural identity.
Latent Image is a powerful and clever piece of television.
The camera never lies.

Star Trek: Voyager – Concerning Flight (Review)
Posted on March 1, 2017 by Darren
Concerning Flight is a lovely, whimsical little episode.
Of course, the actual plot of the episode is complete nonsense. During a raid by alien pirates, a bunch of advanced technology is stolen from Voyager. Among that advanced technology is the EMH's mobile admitted, the holodeck database, and the primary computer core. Somehow, the pirate prince responsible for this raid has the wherewithal to download a character from the holodeck database into the mobile emitter and employ him as an inventor. Conveniently enough, the hologram is Leonardo da Vinci and the arrangement resembles medieval patronage.
da Vinci's demons.
It is all very ridiculous, relying on insane contrivance and random leaps in logic. At any given moment, the audience might be inclined to ask exactly what chain of decisions have led the characters to this exact point, right down to the sheer coincidence of having Leonardo da Vinci's prototyple glider resting on a hilltop on the escape route that Janeway and da Vinci take in the final act. All of these criticisms are valid, and all of them are perfectly reasonable. Concerning Flight does not require suspension of disbelief, it requires a suspension bridge of disbelief.
However, the episode largely earns that trust. There is an incredible charm to this very simple and straightforward (if awkwardly contrived) story, a surprising warmth and engagement to the tale of the ultimate renaissance man confronted with the ultimate new world. Concerning Flight is a fun episode that places a lot of faith in the interplay between Kate Mulgrew and John Rhys-Davies. It is a choice that pays dividends.
O brave new world,
That has such people in 't!

Star Trek: Voyager – Distant Origin (Review)
Posted on December 14, 2016 by Darren
Like Remember before it, Distant Origin is a really great example of how Star Trek: Voyager's efforts to build a "generic Star Trek" series can produce memorable and satisfying episodes of television.
There is very little about Distant Origin that demands to be set in the Delta Quadrant. In fact, Distant Origin arguably makes less sense as an episode set in the Delta Quadrant than it would as an episode set in the Alpha or Beta Quadrants. Episodes like The 37's and Distant Origin (and the lies at the heart of Favourite Son) seem to suggest a lot of traffic between Earth and the Delta Quadrant beyond the Caretaker. It seems strange the Voth would migrate so far in search of a place to call home.
Skullduggery.
However, for all that Distant Origin feels like a strange fit for the series' Delta Quadrant setting, it feels very much like quintessential Star Trek. Like Remember earlier in the season, Distant Origin is very much an old-fashioned Star Trek allegory that uses characters in cheesy make-up to comment upon contemporary issues. In Remember, it was the reality of holocaust denial. In Distant Origin, it is the age-old conflict of science-against-political-expedience. There is an endearing timelessness to the metaphor at the centre of the story.
With its dinosaur characters, its fixation upon evolution, and its doctrine of "origin", Distant Origin seems very specifically tailored to the heated debates around science and creationism in American culture. However, the allegory is powerful enough that it maintains a potency even beyond that. Distant Origin has aged remarkably well, working effectively as a metaphor for climate change denial or even for historical revisionism in favour of the national myth. Distant Origin is both a season and a series highlight.
The bare bones of a theory.

Star Trek: Voyager – Darkling (Review)
Posted on November 18, 2016 by Darren
There is something to be said for the pulpier side of Star Trek: Voyager, the aspect of the show that plays like a cheesy sci-fi b-movie.
Brannon Braga is very much the driving force behind this aspect of the show, as evidenced by his scripts for the belated Cold War body-swapping horror of Cathexis or the psychological nightmare of Projections or the trashy psychedelic terror of Cold Fire or even the weird evolutionary anxieties of Threshold and Macrocosm. These sorts of episodes often feel like they belong in a late night movie slot reserved for forgotten horror flicks from the fifties and sixties. Of course, Braga is not alone in this; episodes like Meld and The Thaw also fit the pattern.
Blurred lines.
Of course, these episodes do not always hit the mark. Charitably, it could be argued that they land about half the time and misfire spectacularly about one third of the time. However, there is something strangely compelling about these episode. They feel distinct from what audiences expect from Star Trek. Even if they are arguably just an extension of late Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes like Sub Rosa or Genesis or Eye of the Beholder, they feel like something different from the show's more conventional "let's do archetypal Star Trek" plotting.
Darkling is an episode that doesn't quite work, but which is oddly endearing in its dysfunction. It is a ridiculous central premise executed in a deeply flawed (and occasionally uncomfortable) manner. However, there is something weirdly compelling about wedding the show's science-fiction premise to gothic horror through the fractured psyche of a computer program.
Patchy.

Star Trek: Voyager – Alter Ego (Review)
Following on from the aborted promise of a new beginning in Fair Trade, things get back to normal.
Alter Ego is another episode of Star Trek: Voyager that feels like it might have been wholly repurposed from an earlier Star Trek show. On the surface, it is a fairly standard "holodeck run amok" story in the style of earlier episodes like Heroes and Demons or Projections. However the contours of the plot recall a very specific (and very good) episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. As Alter Ego seems to suggest that a holographic character has achieved sentience and threatens to destroy the ship, it recalls the far superior Ship in a Bottle.
Forced attraction.
There are differences, of course. Ship in a Bottle is a far stronger episode, one of the best holodeck stories ever produced. More than that, the climax of Alter Ego reveals that the holodeck programme has not become sentient but is instead being used as the avatar of an outside force. Still, this twist is confined to the last act of the episode, and so it feels more like an embellishment than a revision. For the bulk of its runtime, Alter Ego plays as a pale imitation of a much stronger piece of television.
It does not help matter that Alter Ego's novel twist on that central premise is to paint its central guest star as a psychotic stalker with a crush.
A whole ball of crazy.
